Rust data-transfer Projects

  • magic-wormhole.rs

    Rust implementation of Magic Wormhole, with new features and enhancements

    • Project mention: The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-18

    > Downloading 3GB of dependencies is not a thing that happens in the Rust ecosystem. Reality is orders of magnitude smaller than that.

    Assuming they're talking about the built size of dependencies that are left lying around after cargo builds a binary, they're really not exaggerating by much. I have no difficulty of believing that there are Rust projects that leave 3GB+ of dependency bloat on your file system after you build them.

    To take the last Rust project I built, magic-wormhole.rs [1], the source code I downloaded from Github was 1.6 MB. After running `cargo build --release`, the build directory is now 618 MB and there's another 179 MB in ~/.cargo, for a total of 800 MB used.

    All this to build a little command line program that sends and receives files over the network over a simple protocol (build size 14 MB). God forbid I build something actually complicated written in Rust, like a text editor.

  • piping-server-rust

    Infinitely transfer between every device over pure HTTP with pipes or browsers

    • Project mention: LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-24

    There is also a Typescript version.

    Unlike MagicWormhole, this does not require Python. Any HTTP client will do, whether graphical browser, text-only browser, curl, anything that can make HTTP requests. Javascript is optional.

    There is an example server run by the author for testing but unlike MagicWormhole it is not a default; the address is not found anywhere in the source code.

    Magic Wormhole, or PAKE in general, might be well-suited for transferring files between two or more parties, but here the question was about transferring files between two computers operated by the same party.
